Abstract/Contents: | Offers advice from David Frey, former president of the Sports Turf Managers Association and owner of Field Specialties, on the construction and renovation of grass fields. Notes that changes to the requirements of particular sports have required the surfaces to change size, position of the goals, and room around the outside of the playing surface." Details strategies for renovating baseball fields, suggesting that "home plate and the mound are where everything starts. If they cannot drain, the game is over." Highlights grade, consistency, and percolation rates, suggesting that "less than a ½% [percent] slope will develop low areas and there is not enough slope to move water through the grass." Concludes by emphasizing the possible importance of grass cover, advising that "grass needs to be grown aggressively...a good fertilization program needs to be in place." |
